if you think it scales, then chances are you aren't getting too many visitors. what you should do is pregenerate multiple copies of files, one for each language, and serve static files out to users.
too much work - and there are some pretty massive sites out there running on django or Rails using dynamic content - the bottleneck is not translating text. It is serving media - django advocates serving media from a separate server from the filesystem and not the database.
the less dynamic content on a page, the better it will scale.
obvious - but the less dynamic content, the more work for the programmer and there is no fun in being a programmer if you have to work
